Flow Modeling Solutions for the Glass Processing Industry
 |
Flow modeling with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software gives you insight into the physical, chemical and thermal processes which take place during glass production and forming. Fluent software products can be used to model every stage of the glass making process, including the furnaces, melters, refiners, forehearths, and spout bowls.You can also model glass forming operations, such as drawing, pressing, blowing, and fiber production. The insight you gain with CFD improves your designs, ultimately boosting productivity and reducing production costs and pollutant emissions.

Customer Testimonials
“At Hercules Fiber Division, we have employed modeling techniques for many years. As commercial CFD codes have become more flexible and reliable, we have adapted them into our modeling tool chest. Our experience with FLUENT has been quite positive; we have used FLUENT extensively in a variety of problems relating to fiber spinning. This has led to new insights in both polymer flow in spinnerets and quench airflow dynamics.”
